 A new year has begun and come in with a bang. We are super busy gearing up for our next dive season. 4 new divers joined our ranks this month and another 8 are ready to join the family in February. What an exciting time to be diving and sharing our love of the underwater world.

2011 was incredibly exciting with us becoming a 5 Star Dive Center and ending the year being nominated for the 2011 PADI Americas Diver Retention Award. Huge thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make this happen.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Jonathan Saenz is now our newest Dive Master. After a lot of time and work and seemingly blood sweat and tears we can say that Jonathan did a great job on his final open water evaluation this weekend and is now a proud PADI Professional. We are looking forward to great things from him as he continues his professional dive development. Come by and congratulate him and ask him how much fun and what a challenge it was.

We had a great time last weekend with the Discover Scuba Days at NMSU. Big thanks to everyone at the Outdoor Rec Dept and the NMSU Natatorium as well. Lots of new friends were able to discover a big new world and we are excited to say that several of them have already decided to join us in October to become full divers. Gonna be fun folks.

HUGE THANKS - Thank you Mike for running such a great trip to Catalina. Everyone had a great time and the diving was wonderful. What a great opportunity for training and exploration. Cant wait to do it again. 

Check out our calendar for new classes and events coming up.
